weak, tedious analysis: omg gerontocracy, the olds are finally retiring sturdy, trenchant analysis: it’s naptime for the washed legislator otakus

Video: Joe Biden sang 'happy birthday' to W-L student after dinner at Carbonara

Sandwich Guy thanks everyone for their support, “emotional, spiritual, artistic or financial.” Intones, “Let us not forget that the great seal of the United States says…‘ out of many, one.’…You all have a right to live a life that is free.”

move over Ross Douthat, NYT has something out today even more calibrated to piss me off

Their real plan is to just say "We took care of those costs!" and holy shit, I cannot tell you how stupid it is.

I really need someone to ask: Democrats stood up here and told us the economy was actually fine and then got the breaks beat off of them in '24. You did the same, and just lost massively in '25. Why do you think this is going to work this time? You can't lie to people about their bills.

Lol. Yeah this isn't gonna cut it

I mean, they are not necessarily lying when they say it is about safety.

CFN dropping a JDAM on my mental health

perfect website

Dude, you're the incumbents, the only message that works for you is prices actually going down

My oak spiderman folder has over 100 images on its own, so

I don’t remember why I saved this one and I believe this was @yinzer.bsky.social or @unlox.bsky.social but it never fails to make me laugh

Hands down my best work

Oops I did it again www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Watched all of these in the thread...and it's literally just his truth social posts read

As a non-New Yorker I for one am gonna miss Mayor Joker...also has anyone told him he's still Mayor until NYE?

Welcome, my fellow Americans, to the Shutdown. *classic intro to Japanese Iron Chef plays*

Trump was so busy botching the shutdown by cheering it on at first, and then by ignoring it for a while, and only now has started to build pressure on GOP Senators to ditch the filibuster...which at this point is just another way he's botching the shutdown.

This Atlantic article section makes no sense at all, because either Dems won by running against Trump according to the state/city they ran in...or they don't know how to run against him. (And Dems do not need a central way to "run against him" because he will never be on the ballot again)

Lol, gonna check in on Matty and friends

I think I have a shot at the FIFA Peace Prize

Big VA-2 news as former Rep. Elaine Luria might jump in Imagine last night’s results and possible Redistricting influences decision Luria was first elected during the first Trump midterm in 2018 The party that has won VA-2 has been in House majority every election since 2008

I'll make a deal with BlueSky: if someone on here does this I'll start posting on here more often www.youtube.com/watch?v=43j8...

A bunch of people who post oak tables at each other and Aaron Rodgers Mario spdermen doing Tenerife memes were smarter than these guys

It's incredible to me how much last night showed how much most media and business leaders completely miscalculated by assuming a permanent shift.

Yesterday really challenged a lot of priors ('what if they were more popular?' and 'they're throwing away NJ') and people are responding as you might expect.

I really love this for them

Knew that he did not have any idea what he is talking about when he said 'Western center-left parties did not moderate and unlearned to win elections' which if you know anything about Euro politics is huge news to you.

This is the post that REALLY sent me, though. Absolutely legendary (IYKYK)

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Update on this?

Indiana dominating very team they encounter does not count, now a real team like Notre Dame or Penn State...

GM, Nate Cohn at his best sports pundit last night, already making up reasons why this one doesn't count

Lol, lmao even

Way more interesting than the cope is that they all barely took a break from fighting each other, lol

Going in for another round of cope (love that they always have to invoke the guy who got them in this mess in the first place, lol)

And again, it was predictable!

the entire twitter and group chat poisoned elite of American society who decided Trump winning an election by 1.5% heralded a thousand year reich may have miscalculated a bit

just take it in.

Jay Jones flipped Surry County, a +.6 Trump County

What’s the over/under on the number of GOP retirements announced before the new year?

It’s genuinely hysterical how fast we went from “hah, dumb libs can’t possibly counter our map redrawings because they’d never be able to do it in states like CA” to CA voters being like “yes Gavin, crush the red swine into the dirt with your map”

This is so fucking funny to me

The latest, 11pm: —Prop 50 wins —VA Dems flip Gov, LG, AG; & gain in House —Dems win NJ-Gov —Mamdani wins —PA Dems win supreme court —ME vote-restricting measure loses —Krasner & Bragg win —JD's half-brother loses —GA Dems flip 2 statewide offices + Dem are leading to flip so many local offices.

Btw @statenavigate.org cooked in their poll by not weighing to the 2024 election

Getting my huffs of cope in

Dude, the stupid text messages are the difference between him losing by the same margin as the Lt. Governor’s race and losing by half that margin like he is right now. I get you’ve spent all year regurgitating whatever Virginia GOP consultants blabbed to you about, but turns out they’re bad at this

Spanberger got 83% in Alexandria and 84% in Arlington, they both swung 9% from 2024 NoVa backlash was insane this election
